WARNING
CAUTION
Oven Light Replacement
To remove:
1. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until
the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the
socket. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by
pulling it straight out.
To replace:
1. Use a new 120/130-volt halogen bulb, not to exceed
50 watts. Replace the bulb with the same type of bulb
that was removed. Be sure the replacement bulb is
rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts).
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its
packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
Oil from skin will damage the bulb and shorten its life.
3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.
4. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of
the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass
cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be
done when the oven is completely cool.
5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
